We’re Having the Wrong Debate About Vaccinations

People get really wound up about whether vaccinations cause autism. The science is very strong to say that it does not. I have a friend with a doctorate in social science. She has two sons, identical twins, who are autistic and she’s an anti-vaxxer. Upon request, she’ll send a mighty list of scientific papers that argue that one of the potential causes of her sons’ condition was vaccinations. Apparently it only matters if the child is vulnerable to that kind of trigger, which of course, one doesn’t know before the vaccination is delivered.
